@nickyboy22071989 Negotiations for funding are going a lot better than they did with BS2 due to Patrick Duffy deflating his ego a bit, so it probably won't take that long for BS3 to be made.
When I first heard their name, I thought that they would one of those "tribute" bands that ripped off The Dubliners. I was pleasantly surprised to find that they had their own style, and are quite good.
@JerryF47 Hahahahaha. Yes, so much worse than the Nazi holocaust. Or Stalin's killing fields. Or WWII Japanese atrocities. Or Rwanda. Or the Balkans, or Ottoman Turkey, or Irag, or Darfur, or East Timor. You can't go anywhere in England without tripping over a mass grave... Xenophobia ensures that there are no immigrants or ethnic minorities in the UK at all and never have been, and the country is closed off to international trade entirely!
@Ghigo333 Wasn't aware the UK was a dictatorship. If you want independence then vote for parties which will promise you a referendum on the matter. The Scottish did, and hopefully they'll get their independence if they so desire it. Don't get me wrong, I fucking love this music, but I'm proud of my Irish and English heritage, so lets not make enemies out of brothers.
@Ghigo333 Yes you may quote a list of battles where we English lost, but remember this, the Union Flag is still composed of St. Andrews', St. Patrick's and St. George's flags...now how did that all happen?
when you buy the song you arent giving the band money unless they have royalties in there contract which i doubt seeing so few artists do or profitable ones
@JohnMan59 He said $9 bucks (not cents), and I agreed with him; I would not pay $9 for a song unless, like I said, it was by Warren Zevon. I'm still trying to hunt down Real Or Not. I know it's on the anthology, but I already have all the other songs on the anthology, so I don't really buy it again, but I may have to.... I digress.
From Nov 09 to March 2010, out of 19 council houses, allocated by Tralee council 11 went to immigrants. Many Irish people are on the housing waiting list, some waiting for 7yrs, and the houses are going to foreigners.
Kerryman 14/4/10
This at a time when Irish children in care are being moved around in different care homes and B&B's. Some of these kids have been abused and committed suicide - they would greatly benefit from a secure council house.
@BarbaricGoose, the dubliners or sinead o'connor. Im not saying you SUCK as a band, but the notes are definitely not where they're supposed to be for the song. It doesn't have that Irish feel, it definitely feels lacking.
@staringintotheabyss Of course the notes are not "Where they're supposed to be." A carbon copy cover would be rather boring. Not that the Dubliners version is boring, but a cover that sounds exactly the same would be quite boring. The great thing about folk music is that the popular songs get covered by such a wide variety of acts. Hell, even Metallica covered Whiskey in the Jar, and while you may not like Metallica's cover, the fact that they covered is, I think, wonderful.
@staringintotheabyss And there is no "True" version. You might be more partial to Sinead's version, but she wasn't the one to write the song, nor were the Dubliners. We don't know who was, so there can't be a "True" version. I think that's great. It doesn't discourage anyone from covering it, and keeps the music fresh. Generations that would've never heard this kind of music are being introduced to it thanks to the likes of Metallica, and yes, the Young Dubliners.
@staringintotheabyss I don't understand how you can say garbage like "This is fucking terrible." If you like this kind of music, you should appreciate the fact that it's being covered, and applaud those who cover it, not lambast them for having the courage to try something new and unique with the song.
@BarbaricGoose, I am not going to applaud a song that does not contain the rhythm of the lyrics it's meant for merely because it's a "cover". Bad covers exist, this is one in my opinion.
@staringintotheabyss You don't see many artists covering the popular songs of today. You might hear one or two covers of, say, Poker Face, but how many covers have you heard of Foggy Dew? I can't even remember how many I've heard. And, as I mentioned earlier, not all of the covers are from folk acts. That is a trademark of folk music, and people like you who insist that the only good version is the one by the Dubliners, or the Chieftains, or Sinead, piss me off so much that words fail me.
@staringintotheabyss I think all those versions are great, but that doesn't mean that this one isn't; you just can't appreciate it, and I can't--and wouldn't--force you to. There's reason you have to enjoy it, but you don't have to insult it, either. No one's forcing you to be an asshole, you know.
@staringintotheabyss Sorry for all the comments, but as I said, people like you piss me off. Also, it's not my band. I'm in NO way affiliated with the Young Dubliners.
One last thing. Notice how they named the album "With all due respect." But, yeah, they can take that respect and shove it up their non-Irish ass, right?
I get to see this band this summer!!!! Cant wait to see them agai! Saw them last year at Irish Fest and got to talk to them! Really cool, nice people! :)
When you buy a song legitimately, you're only giving money to the record label. If you really wanna support a band, go to their live shows, and buy their merchandise. I wish I could go to see these people live, they're lovely.
@YogurtArchangel Yes, if you want to support them you should buy their merch and go to their shows.
But the record label getting the majority of the money is not a reason to steal their music; they get NOTHING if you pirate their music. If you wanna pirate their music, I won't stop you, but don't pretend that you're justified in doing so.
@BarbaricGoose Oh, I won't pirate their music, I'll just listen to it on youtube or Pandora. You do have a good point though. It's a shame bands/artists hardly get anything from their album sales.
@BarbaricGoose Just so you know, since finding this on YouTube last month, I've bought two of their albums. Never let it be said that YouTube is not good marketing!
@YogurtArchangel They rock so hard live-- i went with bros and my parents. Even though the 'rents had earplugs in, they were still loving it. YD is getting a little old, but they still blow your mind.
@YogurtArchangel i have seen them twice and they are indeed amazing! idk where ur from, but every sept.17th there is a fabulous irish festival called i2k irish fest in ballston spa, ny and they usually attend yearly! i have a signed tshirt from everyone in the band and they are a great group of guys! very nice and personable!! they actually took the time to have a conversation with a guy about music! LOVE THEM!!!!!
@YogurtArchangel I completely agree. The records are are in business for one reason, to make money. And they make money for only one entity, themselves.
I'm American but my heritage among other things is 25% Irish, 25% English. However, I believe every country should be allowed to break free from any governing body they do not feel is doing them justice.
well, atleast we got a chance it will be released in guitarhero now, besides that i just dont like this version. The dubliners version had a nice melody flow in it... this kinda feels like rape...
@kwondoo you can like any music you like and hate all the music you hate, however understand that folk music is unique in that the songs are ment to be replayed by many different people, its not artist specific like most genres of music are. so though you can hate this if you like but thats part of folk.
@punkhippe i never said i hate this version, i say i dont like it. I listen this song in many versions wich also good to listen. im just saying what i think about this one.
Im betting if Ireland went to war with another small country and called its " sons and daughters " from across the globe I think you'd see alot more than just the people living there
@BarbaricGoose because i only like 1 song not the entire album and i dont have a credit card because im too young. why do you think we all download free music?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Fucking hell. Saw a comment on the Chieftains' rendition of this song, saying that Luke Kelly's version was "flat" and "annoying", and how much better the Young Dubliners did this song..
Fuck no. All the emotion is gone. They've mindlessly raped a brilliant song.
@Nakata995 Both of you are dead wrong. I've yet to hear a version of this song that I thought was bad, because none of them are. The both of you can go screw yourselves.
@BarbaricGoose You do realize that this is 110% opinion based, right? You can't tell someone to screw themselves because they dont like a song. Just like he cant tell you someone has raped it. Lol.
@theatomizer Oh, I'm sorry. From now on I'll point out when something I'm saying is my opinion. Even though since I'm saying it, it's probably safe bet that it is my opinion, and not someone else's. That is my opinion.
@BarbaricGoose Well, thats a good point. I just mean't you shouldn't tell someone they're wrong. All it really did was ad unnecessary hostility to the comment. Get it? Thats my opinion anyway. :p
@theatomizer It's the internet; it's 90% hostility, and nothing you say or do can change that. When someone says something to me in a kind way, I respond in a kind way. Likewise, if someone's an acting like an asshole, then I'll do that, too.
Although I like the original version the Young Dubliners did, this is a nice variation. Definitely worth the listen. I <3 Ireland, the land of my ancestors.
Insert some grammatically incorrect comment about how if you’re not Irish you shouldn’t listen or some posh racist slur from a Loyalist or Republican. JUST SHUT UP AND DANCE! :O)
@welshperson123 for the peace,freedom and culture we have brought to the world and we could not have achieved all this without our loyal welsh servants and those noble savages the scotish
quite a few "plastic paddy's" gave their money to NORAID and moved widowmakers across the Atlantic, and found themselves in a great deal of trouble as a result. why not appreciate the help from across the water, instead of talking shit? you bigoted bastards aren't any better because of where you born and live. Pissing on the union jack should be enough
@brightsidelabs if you were actually irish you would know irish people dont talk like that. you make it so obvious youre trying to be irish when you say "me" every chance you get. and its not "pa" its "da"
I applaud this song's original version, this more contemporary interpretation, the fine land it came from, and BarbaricGoose's previously demonstrated ability to tell people to fuck off.
I wish I was more Irish than I am. 4 of my 8 Great grandparents are full blood Irish which I guess means I am half Irish (as far as ancestry goes, born and raised in U.S.) But I absolutely love this song!
@Vessel012 An american who has distant irish ancestry is to me about as Irish as an African bushman. It's not about the blood you inherit, it's the blood you give and your patriotism.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
lol barbaric goose, chill te fuck, willya? I said "fair play if ya like the music". If ya like irish folk, doesn't mean ur irish, n i never said a word of such. what gets me is these americans who say "i'm so proud to be irish", n it turns out they have really weak bloodline and they've never even been here.
you lads need to have a ride n get some of this testorone outta ya
I cringed while reading that. It wreaks of someone trying way to hard to be noticed. Or, Irish, I suppose. I find it hard to believe that anyone would naturally spell like that. Even if it's how you talk, incorporating your accent into text is just.. Moronic.
I also find it odd that you're the one who started bitching in the first place, and now you tell us to get laid.
I won't tell you to get laid, because, frankly, I don't think you could. Just fuck off, paddy.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
haha, 'get laid'? u just fuckin add me on facebook, and take a look at the state of my girl.
u know nothin about me mate, so don't bring personal things into it.listen, i've said this from the start, fair play if ya like the music, but in all fairness, you can't claim to be irish if anythin less than 1 of ur parents bein born there.
I wasn't bringing anything of mine into this conversation. Especially not anything personal. I expressed my opinion, I really don't think you could get laid. Which I still stand by.
And now let me refer you to my last statement of "Fuck off, paddy."
PS: all future messages of yours will be getting deleted immediately. Write them if you like to make yourself feel better, it will not change their future.
@BarbaricGoose im so sick of these people who doubt the heritage of irish americans. guess what. its not up to u to decide if our blood is irish enough. we know who we are. i may not be all irish but i still got the blood . the fire of the irish burns strong in me and all the negative comments in the world wont change that.
@pureliam wath should i be? my mother camoes fro ma scot and an irish my dad from germans and dutch en way back in the family tree there is swedish blood. wath should i call myself?
@BarbaricGoose He dont hes just saying his opinion and well so in that case i usualy just ignore these kind of post that you replied to but you do got a point =)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Like someone commented this just 2 weeks ago saying "this song makes me proud I'm Irish", and in all fairness, your man knows he isn't. Do you think you're Irish? Fair play if ya like the music...
So, by liking Irish music, you're pretending to be Irish? No, don't use logic in you're thinking. That would be stupid.
I like Rammstein, so I guess that means I'm pretending to be German. I also like Sting, so that must make me British. I like Devin Townsend, which makes me Canadian. I like Bjork, which makes me Icelandic, and I enjoy Chopin, which, obviously makes me Polish.
You see where I'm goin' with this? Complete bullshit.
@slash667 Holy crap, I though I'd be the only listening to this combination of music! I love Einaudi since I heard the soundtrack to "This Is England" (awesome movie) and I can also recommend Yann Tiersen, a french composer. Try to look up " Rue des cascades", the live version.
@BarbaricGoose exactly!!!! i love irish music more than any other and im only a quarter irish...im not saying im 100% irish but i am saying i can identify with that culture more than any other.
ok what the freak?!?!?!it's called being a desendent. to be irish doesn't mean you have to be born in ireland.you're not pretending smart one, it's called being proud of your ancestry. another thought, if they aren't really irish take it as a compliment that they want to be. i mean this with all due respect ok?
it doesn't mean you have to be born in Ireland, sure I was born in Germany! it's about where you are BROUGHT UP or where you have lived all or most of your life, many people have been "adopted" into their communities in ireland, and their children are just as Irish as anyone elses, There is a MAJOR difference between ancestry and nationality. If you are not from Ireland, haven't lived here and/or refused to become one with the community then I don't count you one bit Irish.
@pureliam so many americans claim to be irish because....well, there are 60 freaking million of us here, brother.....we claim to be irish because we were born and bred irish....... good god man, we have the brits hiding over here..... you never hear anybody claim "i'm proud of the british bulldog" man-they know they'll get slobberknocked....especially in Chicago....
@pureliam my Fathers family came from Co Donegal, my Mothers side from Co Cavan.... but if they had not, if we weren't 100%, would you have a problem? if we have never been there because we hadn't the money, would you not count us among you?
@pureliam I'm not one bit of Irish but if these people claim to be then so what? They may be born and raised in America but that doesn't mean they can't respect their heritage of their parents, grandparents, etc. You have much to learn about Americans.
@pureliam Your an idiot. I like this music because I like this music not because I'm Irish. Although I am also Irish. Stop pretending to be American btw. Youtube and the internet is our thing go back to milking your cows and drinking your tea.
you shouldn't buy this song....its a rebel song like :D

@YogurtArchangel i have seen them twice and they are indeed amazing! idk where ur from, but every sept.17th there is a fabulous irish festival called i2k irish fest in ballston spa, ny and they usually attend yearly! i have a signed tshirt from everyone in the band and they are a great group of guys! very nice and personable!! they actually took the time to have a conversation with a guy about music! LOVE THEM!!!!!

@YogurtArchangel I completely agree. The records are are in business for one reason, to make money. And they make money for only one entity, themselves.
I'm American but my heritage among other things is 25% Irish, 25% English. However, I believe every country should be allowed to break free from any governing body they do not feel is doing them justice.

well, atleast we got a chance it will be released in guitarhero now, besides that i just dont like this version. The dubliners version had a nice melody flow in it... this kinda feels like rape...

@kwondoo you can like any music you like and hate all the music you hate, however understand that folk music is unique in that the songs are ment to be replayed by many different people, its not artist specific like most genres of music are. so though you can hate this if you like but thats part of folk.

Fucking hell. Saw a comment on the Chieftains' rendition of this song, saying that Luke Kelly's version was "flat" and "annoying", and how much better the Young Dubliners did this song..
Fuck no. All the emotion is gone. They've mindlessly raped a brilliant song.

I cringed while reading that. It wreaks of someone trying way to hard to be noticed. Or, Irish, I suppose. I find it hard to believe that anyone would naturally spell like that. Even if it's how you talk, incorporating your accent into text is just.. Moronic.
I also find it odd that you're the one who started bitching in the first place, and now you tell us to get laid.
I won't tell you to get laid, because, frankly, I don't think you could. Just fuck off, paddy.

So, by liking Irish music, you're pretending to be Irish? No, don't use logic in you're thinking. That would be stupid.
I like Rammstein, so I guess that means I'm pretending to be German. I also like Sting, so that must make me British. I like Devin Townsend, which makes me Canadian. I like Bjork, which makes me Icelandic, and I enjoy Chopin, which, obviously makes me Polish.
You see where I'm goin' with this? Complete bullshit.

@Flamesong14
it doesn't mean you have to be born in Ireland, sure I was born in Germany! it's about where you are BROUGHT UP or where you have lived all or most of your life, many people have been "adopted" into their communities in ireland, and their children are just as Irish as anyone elses, There is a MAJOR difference between ancestry and nationality. If you are not from Ireland, haven't lived here and/or refused to become one with the community then I don't count you one bit Irish.
